I'm going to tell you a story 'bout Marylou
You know the kind of a woman make a fool out of you
She make a young man old and a rich man lame
The way she took my money is a cry-in-shame
Em
Marylou...
See
She took my diamond ring
Em
Marylou...
See
She took my watch and chain
Em
She took my keys to my Cadillac car
Am 'em
Jumped in my kitty and she drove a-far
Em
Left me stranded in Kalamazoo

Makin' a fortune off a fool like you
Found her a rich man, had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid
Marylou...
See
She took my diamond ring
Em
Marylou...
See
She took my watch and chain
Em
She took my keys to my Cadillac car
Am Em
Jumped in my kitty and she drove a-far
Em
Marylou...

I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout Marylou

You know the kind of a woman make a fool out of you
She make a young man old and a rich man lame
The way she took my money is a cry-in-shame
Marylou...
See
She took my diamond ring
Em
Marylou...
See
She took my watch and chain
Em
She took my keys to my Cadillac car
Am 'em
Jumped in my kitty and she drove a-far
Em
Marylou...

Marylou...
Marylou...
